PRKFACh 


The  tribe  of  Clallams,  as  they  are  usually  called  by  the  residents 
of  Washington  Territory — by  the  neighboring  Indians  named 
S'klal'arn,  and  denominated  by  themselves  Nus  klai  yum — inhabit 
the  southern  shore  of  Fuca  Strait,  from  about  the  Okeho  River  on 
the  west,  to  Port  Townshend  on  the  east,  bordering  in  the  first 
direction  on  the  Makahs,  sometimes  called  Classets  (the  Klaizzart 
of  Jewitt),  a  tribe  of  the  Xootka  family  who  inhabit  Cape  Flattery, 
and  in  the  other  on  the  Chemakum,  like  themselves  a  branch  of  the 
Selish,  though  a  yet  more  remote  one.  Their  language  is  the  same, 
with  some  dialectic  differences  only,  as  that  of  the  Songhus  and 
Sokes  of  Vancouver  Island  opposite.  It  is  this  which  has  been 
referred  to  by  Drs.  Scouler  and  Latham  as  the  "Nusdalum," 
undoubtedly,  in  the  first  instance,  a  misprint. 

The  Clallam  differs  materially  from  the  other  Selish  languages  of 
the  Puget  Sound  country,  though  less  from  the  Lummi  than  the 
rest.  Its  noticeable  feature  is  the  fi-equent  occurrence  of  the 
nasal  ng. 

The  Lummi  tribe  live  on  the  lower  part  of  a  river  heading  in  the 
Cascade  Range,  north-east  of  Mount  JJaker,  and  emptying  by  two 
mouths,  one  into  Bellingham  Bay,  the  other  into  the  Gulf  of 
Georgia,  the  upper  waters  of  which  are  inhabited  by  the  Nook- 
Bahks  (Nuk-sdk).  They  are,  however,  intruders  here,  their  former 
country  having  been  a  part  of  the  group  of  islands  between  the 


27G 


fl  PREFACE. 

continent  and  Vancouver  Island,  to  whicli  they  still  occasionally 
resort.  Their  own  name  is  Nukh'lnni-nu.  The  Skagits  call  them 
Nflkh-lesh,  and  some  of  the  other  tribes  Ila-lura-mi.  Their  dia- 
lectic affinities  are  rather  with  the  Sannitch  of  the  south-eastern  end 
of  Vancouver  Island  than  with  any  of  the  Indians  of  the  main  land, 
and  the  two  probably  at  one  period  formed  a  single  tribe,  which 
more  remotely  was  connected  with  the  Clallams  and  Songhus. 
The  Simiahmoo  (Si-mi-a-mu),  a  small  remnant,  living  on  the  bay 
of  that  name,  north  of  them,  belong  likewise  to  this  group.  On  the 
south  the  Lummi  adjoin  the  Samish  and  other  bands  of  the  Skagits, 
who  in  language  approach  the  Nisquallies. 

Like  the  Clallam,  their  language  abounds  with  the  nasal  n^,  both 
as  a  prefix  and  a  termination.  It  has  another  peculiarity,  in  great 
measure  its  own,  in  the  brond  sound  of  the  letter  a,  somewhat  as  in 
the  words  mass,  ^)ass,  but  even  more  prolonged.  I  have  distin- 
guished this  in  the  vocabulary  by  the  italic.  The  letters  /",  r,  v,  «, 
are  wanting  in  both  languages. 

The  Clallam  and  Lurami,  as  will  be  observed,  contain  three 
classes  of  cardinals,  which  I  have  distinguished  as  simple,  personal^ 
and  of  valuation,  although  these  terms  are  not  strictly  accurate ; 
certain  objects,  besides  men,  being  counted  by  the  second,  and 
others,  as  well  as  money,  by  the  third ;  I  have  never  fully  ascer- 
tained the  distinctions  which  govern  their  use.  The  words  animate 
and  inanimate  do  not  apply ;  those  of  noble  and  ignoble,  by  which 
the  French  Missionaries  designated  the  names  of  objects  in  the 
Algonquin  languages,  probably  indicate  the  idea.  Mr.  Gallatin,  in 
his  "  Notes  on  the  Semi-Civilized  Nations  of  Mexico,"  &c.,*  men- 
tions the  same  peculiarity  as  existing  in  the  Mexican  and  Maya,  in 
the  former  of  which  there  are  three  different  terminations  suffixed 
to  the  simple  numbers,  according  to  the  objects  denoted.  A  similar 
distinction  is  found  in  the  Makak  language,  and  traces  of  it,  at

least,  are  observable  in  the  Pima.  I  imagine  tliat  by  iiMniiry  tlie 
fact  would  be  found  to  exist  in  other  Indian  tongues.  Sinrfularlv 
enough,  this  feature  also  characterizes  sonic,  of  the  laiigiia-a'S  of 
Micronesia. 

The  affinities  of  tiie  Clallam  and  Lummi  with  the  Selish  arc  too 
obvious  to  require  deiuonstrution.  Indeed  Dr.  Latham  has  ahvady 
classed  the  former  with  the  Shewha})inukh,  or,  as  he  terms  it,  Atna, 
of  Frazer  River,  the  northernmost  of  the  Selish  dialects.  The  term 
Atna,  it  may  be  mentioned,  is  improperly  applied  as  a  i'amily  name 
to  these  languages,  as  it  is  a  Takulli  (Athabascan  or  Chepcwyan) 
word,  signifying,  according  to  Mr.  A.  V.  Anderson,  "  strangers." 

These  two  vocabularies  were  collected,  the  first  at  Port  Towns- 
bend,  during  a  residence  of  a  few  months,  the  other  at  Simiainoo 
Bay,  while  I  was  connected  with  the  X.  W.  Boundary  (Commission. 
Neither  of  them  underwent  more  than  a  partial  revision,  and  inac- 
curacies have  therefore  doubtless  crept  in.  They  are,  however, 
sufficiently  reliable  to  afford  the  basis  of  extending  comparisons 
with  the  other  Selish  and  the  more  northern  coast  families.
